The Antique Biblos Limestone Collection: A Living Story of Texture, Time & Timeless Style

Posted on by Ancient Surfaces

There are stones you install and then there are stones you inherit.
The Antique Biblos Limestone Collection by Ancient Surfaces belongs to the latter.
Born from centuries old Mediterranean quarries and weathered by hand, salt, rain, and ritual, this stone carries the rare ability to transform any space into an instant classic without ever feeling forced or overly designed.

Below is a room by room journey through the Biblos stone installations you’ve shared, revealing the versatility, charm, and soulful patina that have made this limestone one of Ancient Surfaces’ most sought after materials.

In the first image, the Biblos limestone appears beneath a series of ceramic water urns, serving as the stone flooring of a shallow reflecting pool. The mix of warm terracotta and the cool, sandy tones of reclaimed Biblos stone creates a Mediterranean oasis.

This limestone works beautifully outdoors because of its natural porosity and mineral makeup it loves water, and water loves it back.
Here, the irregular veining and subtle shell inclusions of the Biblos stone amplify the play of rippling sunlight, giving the space a resort quality feel.

In the second setting, Biblos limestone is used as the surrounding stone flooring in a sleek, modern courtyard featuring a vertical water-sheet fountain. While the fountain structure itself is a different stone, the grounding element the floor is pure Biblos.

The weathered edges and tonal variations in the limestone soften the modern lines of the fountain, proving how effortlessly Old World surfaces can elevate contemporary design.

Here, the Biblos stone floor seamlessly connects the interior living room to the outdoor courtyard. This transitional design showcases one of Biblos stone’s greatest strengths: its ability to unify spaces.

The warm golden tones, occasional fossil marks, and textured surface make this room feel grounded and inviting even with large glass openings and strong sunlight.

The fourth installation shows Biblos limestone used in a hallway leading to an outdoor entertaining zone. This is classic European architectural logic; stone floors that feel as though they’ve always belonged.

The variations in the stone soft creams, warm blush tones, aged ochre patches create a soft mosaic that isn’t busy, just character-rich.

In the final image, Biblos stone floors lay the foundation for a large, open concept Mediterranean home. Here, the scale of the room allows the stone’s full personality to shine: the fractured edges, subtle depressions, and soft tone shifts each tile a relic of its own past life.

When combined with wood beams, wrought iron, and warm stucco walls, the space looks authentically historic yet fresh and livable. Across all these projects, one truth emerges: Biblos limestone doesn’t decorate a space it defines it.

When sourced and installed by Ancient Surfaces, Biblos limestone becomes more than flooring; it becomes a story, a memory, a piece of Mediterranean heritage.

Carved Thresholds: Ancient Surfaces’ Reclaimed Limestone Entryways & Columns

Posted on by Ancient Surfaces

First impressions matter, and nothing announces a home like a hand carved limestone entryway. At Ancient Surfaces, we reclaim historic stone portals, piers, and columns, then restore them to become architectural jewelry, equal parts structure and sculpture. Below, a tour of several one of a kind carved limestone entries and what makes each unforgettable.

Look first at the quiet confidence of this surround: big blocky plinths, tall jambs, and that slim stacked cornice that throws a perfect shadow at the head of the doorway. The faint horizontal tool lines and hairline joints are the giveaway this is real, reclaimed limestone, not cast. The shallow double flutes carved into each pier add just enough refinement, and the proportions make modern glazing feel intentional, not cold. It’s the definition of a luxury stone door surround that ages in place.

This in-progress photo is a gift, you can see the profile build-up: architrave, framed panels, and a keystone that pinches the composition together. The stone reads velvety because it’s hand-dressed; corners are eased so the entry feels welcoming to the touch. Through the opening, a carved limestone fireplace mantel echoes the doorway, which is exactly how good architecture works: one material language, room to room.

Those tall square limestone piers capped with balls feel like sentries. Between them, the wrought iron scrollwork is airy rather than heavy, so you get ceremony without fortress vibes. This is classic Mediterranean stone gate scale, about 13 feet high with authentic patina and tiny chips that tell you these blocks have lived outdoors for decades. It turns a drive into an arrival.

Now the drama: an S-scroll pediment with an urn planted in the center, a carved cartouche waiting for a crest or monogram, and pilasters with little leaf stops tucked under the capitals. The stacked courses show natural shade shifts, mossy grays into warm taupe which is exactly why designers chase antique limestone entryways: they glow at dawn and dusk.

There’s something deeply human about stone shaped by hand. It carries memory of the mason’s chisel, of centuries of weather, of the homes it once protected. At Ancient Surfaces, we don’t replicate that history; we preserve it, giving each limestone entryway a new chapter. Whether standing before an arched portal washed in sunlight or passing through a carved surround into a quiet room, these pieces remind us that craftsmanship is architecture’s truest welcome.

Each doorframe, each carving, each block of aged stone whispers the same message: permanence can be poetic.

Walls with a Story: Antique Limestone Veneers by Ancient Surfaces

Posted on by Ancient Surfaces

Stone walls change how a home feels. They dampen noise, hold the day’s cool, and add the kind of character you can’t paint on. At Ancient Surfaces, we tailor each antique limestone wall veneer to the architecture and to how you live, choosing the stone family, color range, and layering pattern that fits the room, not the other way around.

At the stair landing, we used Kronos Stone, 17th-century limestone, selected for its cool greys and durable face. It’s set in a random ashlar, blocks of varied heights and lengths laid in staggered courses, with lightly raked lime joints. The texture catches the skylight above and gives the narrow passage a grounded, secure feel.

Around the arched window, the warmer Antique Biblos Stone keeps the kitchen bright. We laid it in coursed ashlar, even, horizontal courses, then formed the arch with radiating voussoirs to echo the window shape. Tumbled arrises and a soft honed face make splashes easy to wipe while keeping that hand-worked look.

For a transitional nook, we returned to Kronos Stone but tuned the feel by switching to a semi-coursed ashlar: mostly level bands broken by taller stones for rhythm. Deep-set lime pointing lets shadows read between blocks, so a simple sconce turns the wall into evening texture, perfect for a console vignette.

In the dining room, the ceiling does the talking. We used Antique Tuscan Pietra Rustica in a rubble layering small, hand-dressed stones set tightly in a barrel-vault. The natural peach and cream tones warm the light over the table, and the lime mortar keeps the room breathing the way old Mediterranean houses do.

A cellar wants calm and durability. We lined the walls in Antique Biblos Stone laid semi-coursed for a steady cadence, then framed openings with dressed limestone arches for strength. The brick vault above handles moisture swings; the stone veneer below stays cool, making this a practical and beautiful place to age bottles.

From random ashlar to coursed ashlar, from rubble to dressed arches, each pattern changes the mood and performance of a room. Whether you’re after a bright kitchen backdrop, a quiet stair hall, or a robust wine cellar, Ancient Surfaces will source the right reclaimed limestone: Kronos, Biblos, or Tuscan pietra rustica and lay it in the pattern that suits your home and your routines. Tell us your palette and the way you use the space; we’ll build a wall that looks like it has always belonged there.
